The Return of Chucky?

[Bigdaddyburch]

He better DO something with that final year. It'll be tough to win the division with Manning in a Broncos uniform so that team's only hope next year could be a wildcard spot

I disagree. I think they have great talent. It was Allen's first year. I think things just kind of snowballed. The Broncos lucked out a few wins but I dont see next year as any for sure thing. Next year the Raiders will have a softer schedule and the Broncos will have a much harder one. The AFC West is very much in play for any of the 4 teams.

So Who is your best choice? Please dont tell me some college Coach that has never been in the Nfl

Rhymes with Andy Reid.

[JiffyMix88]

how can you expect the raiders to ever do anything when they switch coaches every year and sometimes have two different head coaches in a season

[Pinstripe pride]

i wouldt go near a raiders job opening for all the tea in china

[nickdymez]

Thank God, keep him away from Philly.

You dont want a superbowl winning coach in Philly? Ok.

The way Hub Arkish was explaining this on the radio last night was that it was pretty close to getting done. Reggie would maintain some role in the organization, but Chucky would get full control of personnel.

I'm Actually Hoping We Get Gruden

Giants fans hope you do to.

[Pierzynski4Prez]

I think you guys are missing the point. There's no way this is happening. The Raiders are trying to distance themselves from Al Davis' crazy final years and become a stable organization. You don't do that by firing your coach. They have had 7 coaches in the 10 years since Gruden left. They want stability, Allen is getting another year.

That could go both ways, keeping Allen who could just be fired in another year, or hiring a guy that you plan on being here the next 5-10 years. Just because they want stability doesn't mean they won't go forward with this.

Well shucks, There goes my hopes he comes to lions as a QB Coach lol

Because they use the same formula every year; it's not rocket science.

Well sure, when you put it that way. Maybe we can grab Dilfer too, since, you know, he won a ring as well.

Gruden is a terrible head coach, terrible.

[ManningToTyree]

I don't get why everyone is saying he is a bad coach. Five division tittles and a ring in 14 seasons. He is well over .500 for his career. What am I missing? Not trying to be a dick, just genuinely curious.

I think most of Gruden's detractors question his talent evaluation skills (or lack of) and question whether or not he truly has "the juice" (one of Gru's favorite words) to inspire players to play up to their potential. Others more will say that he's not nearly the offensive genius or great teacher that his brother is.

Personally, I think Gruden is better than most of the guys holding down an HC job in the league right now. He is also very likely to command a top tier salary with expanded powers, if he were to leave the booth next season. With his sons now headed off to college, I'm sure he's getting that itch to get back in the game. My money is on him replacing Reid in Philly. (Note: Deuce Gruden, Jon's son, attends college in Easton, PA.)

Lol Chucky isn't a good football coach.

Please elaborate...
